helpful book is simple and simple to use. for basic use but not for advance applications of epidemiology. is not a book that makes a deep revicion of epidemiological terms but rather the most common and widely used in basic areas of epidemiology

In this world of Wikipedia, Google, and the like, you may possibly reckon that a excellent ancient-fashioned dictionary is, well, out of make. Maybe. But Porta’s updated edition of the classic Last’s Dictionary of Epidemiology meets its main objective: serving as a reference for students, teachers, researchers, and practitioners in the field of epidemiology. The book includes a vast array of terms, many of them extremely current, in hot topics from genetics to environmental to social epidemiology. It offers different meanings and points of view for those terms that might have different interpretations, as well as the different terms referring to a particular concept. The book has benefited from the input from a vast array of epidemiologists, including leading figures in the field, working in different areas, and this is easily perceived. The reason why the book does not get a five-star rating is because, in this day and age, the ideal format for this work would be a website, which would allow frequent updates and, when necessary, the inclusion of new terms. Some kind of epidemiologic wikipedia, in small. Maybe for a next edition…

I am a doctoral student in epidemiolgy and have been working in the field of broadcast health for the past ten years. This book is highly not compulsory. It is particularly helpful for MDs and other professionals who need quick and easily understandable explainations of epidemilogical terms.

As a research and teaching assistant, as well as a 2nd year Epidemiology student, I have found this to be the absolute BEST book for resources within the theme. I have used this book to grade papers hostile to (with definitions), and have used it in my own understanding of forgotten or intricate concepts. If you want a very right, succinct definition of everything epi, you need this book. In fact, if you are caught up in Epi in ANY way, you need this book. It is a wonderful book for an even better price. I carry it with me at all times.
